I have a problem with this. If you read his profile on Wikipedia, and of course I have no idea if it is correct, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anwar_Awlaki, nor do I know if his citizenship was legally revoked or not, it states he had dual citizenship in the US and Yemen.

Regardless of the circumstance, ordering the execution of any citizen without due process goes against everything that this country was founded on and what we stand for. Everyone should be afforded due process and the laws of the land should not be set aside when convenient.

None of us here will ever know all of the facts, the whole story, what intelligence was used, etc. Again, regardless, the bottom line is an American Citizen was executed without due process. That is just wrong.
